<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2711274, member: 39084&quot;]Another egregious example of a tooled coin that nonetheless sold for a very high price is this Titus Colosseum sestertius, sold three years ago for $90,000 (not including buyer&#039;s fees) by Heritage:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]612365[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I viewed this coin in person at Heritage&#039;s office in L.A., prior to the auction, and the Heritage representative said the coin was &quot;untouched&quot; despite the obvious level of tooling on the reverse.&nbsp; So I have very little respect for Heritage&#039;s evaluation of the condition of any of their auction coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, a non-tooled example of this coin in similar condition would fetch at least 2X - 3X the amount for which this coin hammered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
